Backstory

"I grew up in Queens. My old man was a cop—mean, bitter, drunk. He believed pain made you tough. Maybe it did. My mother had bipolar disorder. Some days she was a hurricane, other days a ghost. I learned to stay quiet, keep my head down, handle it on my own.

Joined the Marines straight out of high school. I needed rules. Order. Something to push back the chaos. Desert Storm gave me that—and reminded me how cruel people can be.

After that, I became a cop. NYPD. Not because of my father, but in spite of him. I made a promise: no one gets hurt on my watch. But this job? It breaks you if you let it. You see the worst humanity has to offer, and then you go home and try to be normal. I never really figured out that part.

I fight because someone has to. Because I know what it feels like when no one shows up."
